Manual fixup of: arch/powerpc/Kconfig
2008-07-15powerpc: Fix pte_update for CONFIG_PTE_64BIT and !PTE_ATOMIC_UPDATESKumar Gala1-1/+1
Because the pte is now 64-bits the compiler was optimizing the update to always clear the upper 32-bits of the pte. We need to ensure the clr mask is treated as an unsigned long long to get the proper behavior.

Commit 70f1bba4 ("x86: use ignore macro instead of hash comment") breaks the 64-bit x86 build on toolchains that have CONFIG_AS_CFI undefined with: arch/x86/lib/csum-copy_64.S:48: Error: Macro `ignore' was already defined because <asm/dwarf2.h> now uses the ignore macro name itself.

2008-07-15ibm_newemac: Add MII mode support to the EMAC RGMII bridge.Grant Erickson1-0/+6
This patch adds support to the RGMII handler in the EMAC driver for the MII PHY mode such that device tree entries of the form `phy-mode = "mii";' are recognized and handled appropriately. While logically, in software, "gmii" and "mii" modes are the same, they are wired differently, so it makes sense to allow DTS authors to specify each explicitly.

2008-07-15powerpc: Remove unnecessary condition when sanity-checking WIMG bitsDave Kleikamp2-4/+3
It is okay for both _PAGE_GUARDED and _PAGE_COHERENT (G and M) to be set in the same pte. In fact, even if that were not the case, there doesn't seem to be any place where G is set without also setting I (_PAGE_NO_CACHE), so the test for I is sufficient as a condition to clear _PAGE_COHERENT when filling the hash table.

2008-07-15powerpc: Add PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPATNathan Lynch2-2/+7
Background from Maynard Johnson: As of POWER6, a set of 32 common events is defined that must be supported on all future POWER processors. The main impetus for this compat set is the need to support partition migration, especially from processor P(n) to processor P(n+1), where performance software that's running in the new partition may not be knowledgeable about processor P(n+1). If a performance tool determines it does not support the physical processor, but is told (via the PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT bit) that the processor supports the notion of the PMU compat set, then the performance tool can surface just those events to the user of the tool. PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT indicates that the PMU supports at least this basic subset of events which is compatible across POWER processor lines.

When we renamed the BUILTIN_FIRMWARE_DIR option to EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR, we forgot to update the manual dependency in firmware/Makefile, so it was depending on a non-existent file in include/config/ Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-15i2c: Add detection capability to new-style driversJean Delvare3-16/+272
Add a mechanism to let new-style i2c drivers optionally autodetect devices they would support on selected buses and ask i2c-core to instantiate them. This is a replacement for legacy i2c drivers, much cleaner. Where drivers had to implement both a legacy i2c_driver and a new-style i2c_driver so far, this mechanism makes it possible to get rid of the legacy i2c_driver and implement both enumerated and detected device support with just one (new-style) i2c_driver. Here is a quick conversion guide for these drivers, step by step: * Delete the legacy driver definition, registration and removal. Delete the attach_adapter and detach_client methods of the legacy driver. * Change the prototype of the legacy detect function from static int foo_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address, int kind); to static int foo_detect(struct i2c_client *client, int kind, struct i2c_board_info *info); * Set the new-style driver detect callback to this new function, and set its address_data to &addr_data (addr_data is generally provided by I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD.) * Add the appropriate class to the new-style driver. This is typically the class the legacy attach_adapter method was checking for. Class checking is now mandatory (done by i2c-core.) See <linux/i2c.h> for the list of available classes. * Remove the i2c_client allocation and freeing from the detect function. A pre-allocated client is now handed to you by i2c-core, and is freed automatically. * Make the detect function fill the type field of the i2c_board_info structure it was passed as a parameter, and return 0, on success. If the detection fails, return -ENODEV. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-07-15i2c: Call client_unregister for new-style devices tooJean Delvare1-0/+8
We call adapter->client_register for both legacy and new-style i2c devices, however we only call adapter->client_unregister for legacy drivers. This doesn't make much sense. Usually, drivers will undo in client_unregister what they did in client_register, so we should call neither or both for every given i2c device. In order to ease the transition from legacy to new-style devices, it seems preferable to actually call both. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>
